Google Wave: why we didn’t use it With Google pulling the plug on the development of Wave, its meant-to-be-revolutionary communications protocol, Ars staffers pondered Wave's collapse. The ideas in Wave were undeniably cool, the vision was ambitious, and Google backed it. So why did no one use it? We looked to our own experiences of using Wave for clues as to what went wrong, and we found plenty. Jon Stokes, Deputy Editor When Google Wave was first announced, I was instantly struck by a use for it: role-playing games. I wrote an article on the results of my Wave RPG quest, then I quit using Wave while I waited for Google to improve it. Wave's primary interface sin was that it crammed a multiple-window-based desktop metaphor into a single browser window. Still, Wave held promise, and I kept coming back. My last and most successful attempt at this was a Wave that I started called "The BH6 Club," the idea being that old-school hardware site editors would hang out and talk hardware.

CompuServe CompuServe (CompuServe Information Service, also known by its acronym CIS) was the first major commercial online service in the United States. It dominated the field during the 1980s and remained a major player through the mid-1990s, when it was sidelined by the rise of services such as AOL with monthly subscriptions rather than hourly rates.

The original CompuServe Information Service, later rebranded as CompuServe Classic, was shut down July 1, 2009. The newer version of the service, CompuServe 2000, continues to operate.

Can Ben Silbermann Turn Pinterest Into The World's Greatest Shopfront? For a guy running such a beautiful website, Ben Silbermann looks like hell: He has prominent bags under tired, watery eyes; his shoulders hang heavy; his shirt is wrinkled; and his dark hair is uncombed. When he speaks--with the open-vowel inflections of his Iowa upbringing--his voice is so slight that it often gets lost beneath the din of other conversations. When he moves, it is with the economy of a marathon runner trying to conserve every last bit of energy on the eve of a big race. "I’m tired," says the 30-year-old CEO of Pinterest, the social scrapbook that’s the hottest website on the planet, as he prepares to shovel down a bowl of noodles a few feet away from his desk. Such is life at what earlier this year was declared the fastest-growing web service in history. This schedule is the price of running a site as beloved as Pinterest, which has won its fans thanks to its breakthrough design. Pinterest gets none of that. This too is by design.
